DVW- The birth of a new era - Part I

Vince K. McMahon has passed away and his will states that he has pre-destinated a wrestler to take over for him as the owner. Being the creative genious he is, he wanted it to be worked into a WWE storyline. The greedy McMahon demands this mystery person to change the name of the company and keep the WWE title + the IC title. Posterboy John Cena first lost the WWE title to Edge. This lead to a confused and more agressive Cena. Raven feels he has the answer. In the process, he insists on knocking the sense out of Cena and went on to defeat him in a Raven's Rules match at Summerslam. Triple H and Drew McIntyre disputed over who the next owner would be. Both sides validated their reasons but Triple H broke through physically and became the IC Champion. He defended this title all the way through Sheamus at Summerslam becoming the undisputed IC champion. RVD and CM Punk stood tall at Money in the Bank while a returning Jeff Hardy got screwed by an angry fan. Instead of a title shot anytime, this year's breifcases held a guarenteed contract for a match at Summerslam for a title. Ultimately, this resulted in a tournament to unify the WWE and WHC at Summerslam. HBK won the WWE title from Edge at MITB in a stellar match. Punk then defeated HBK in the tournament. RVD defeated Orton possibly resulting in Chris Jericho getting involved who claims he will return soon. In the final match, CM Punk controlled RVD early. Upon setting up the GTS, Regal blindsided Punk with brass knuckle shot. RVD went on to win the match after a Five Star Frog Splash to become the second ever undisputed WWE Champion. RVD once again appeared oblivious until he saw the replay on the tron. Who will be the new owner? What will become of the new WWE Champion? Tune in to the first show of a new era.

WWE Champ: RVD
IC Champ: HHH
Tag Champs: Edge and Jeff Hardy
